Now I had previously done Faux Locs before, but it was using the wrap method (Did I mention it took me twelve hours?). Ain't nobody got time for that (Especially because it didn't even last that long!). Suffice to say, I decided to go the quicker and more manageable route of faux locs - crocheting those thangs in!

So for those of you who have been reading, you have probably been wondering why there is a post on Long Freetress Deep Twist Crochet Braids maintenance but not one that reviews and explains the experience in one blog post?!

Since I started doing crochet braids almost four years ago, I have gone through about two cornrow patternsto do most of my styles but as of now I have come to really like a new one (with some subtle changes from the pattern I used to do).

I have written about the best crochet braids style for vacation and I thought it would be good idea to give away THREE discounted crochet braids services through the summer - one winner for JUNE, JULY and AUGUST!

So I'd thought with less than a month until synchro season starts and I am back in the water, I wanted to try a style I have been sooooo hesitant to try but I figured it's less than four weeks I would have to wear this so it can't be too bad.

So much has been happening the past two months and I have so much to blog about, including my recent and newest installation of Freetress presto curl #33 crochet braids with bangs! (check out the video!)

After countless emails and inquiries over the years about where, oh where, can I get my crochet braids done, I teamed up with my friend Mila to start offering crochet braids installation services in the Los Angeles area!

I also had a second set of friends ask about shopping there, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to put together a mini guide on shopping in Tokyo (for people who are on a budget and even for people not on a budget - go ahead yall!).

As I mentioned in my blog post (peep link in bio above) there was a time I was WRAPPING each individual Loc to do faux locs...and it took me 12 hours to complete! 😭Anyway a mix of the crochet method with some individuals is really the best way to go and only takes like 2.5hours out of your afternoon and LASTS longer! #fauxlocs #locs #crochetbraids #crochethairstyles #naturalhair #freetress #freetresssoftfauxlocs #kinkyhair
